I was able to get out for an afternoon Crappie bite and it didn't disappoint! The fish weren't stacked up but by staying mobile, we were able to experience a pretty consistent bite. Marking fish almost always lead to them biting. I'd say about half of my fish came on a PK Lures Predator spoon and the ones that wouldn't eat the spoon seemed to always eat a 4mm Kenders tungsten jig. The average size on this outing was pretty great (12"+).

I haven't been able to make the trek to this lake yet. I recently made the couple hour drive to another small lake I've had success on for good sized Crappies but struck out. We pushed up shallow though and found a good size average for Bluegills which we didn't know about as we always focused on Crappies. That video will be coming soon!

I typically don't. I will usually use a 4mm or 5mm if the Crappies are roaming in a deep basin. On that jig I will usually bulk it up with a plastic and maybe a Euro. If I'm using a Spoon for an aggressive bite I will tip it with as many as 6 euro's.

      What a difference a day makes.  Fishing was very slow today.  Biggest I caught was only 13 inches.  Marked a lot of fish but couldn't get very many to bite.   The wind was very strong today and did cause a little bit of drifting, but travel is still good on the latke.  Just avoid the snow banks and drifts.  Saw one house get pulled off the lake, and didn't see any new houses come out before I left the lake at 4pm.  Lots of snowmobiles and trailers in Tower.  At least the city and lake will be busy with those.   Good luck fishing if you go out the last weekend of the winter season.

      Ice condition didn't change much in the last week as shown in the McKinley Park photo from today.  The holes in my house froze all the way down in the last six days; 40 inches of ice now.  I drilled my two holes 24 inches and cleared the shavings out before reaching water.  Much cleaner way in a permanent house.   Fishing was pretty good today.  Caught two 24" walleyes, including the 5#-7oz fatty pictured.  Also caught a 19 incher.  Best bite was from 11 to noon.  Much better action with chubs than shiners today.  Never tried the pike suckers I had.   Good luck fishing the last weekend this winter.  Going to be very windy Friday, but drifting shouldn't b a problem since there is no loose snow on the lake.  Saturday and Sunday look to be very warm.  Still about 35 houses left out from McKinley Park.

      Too bad she’s after big game when she leaves home.  Your one eyed trouser trout might not lure her in. 😉
